My boobs are soooo much smaller!

I gave up breastfeeding a couple of months ago, after 11 months of feeding DS.I knew that feeding would affect the look of my breasts, but they are now an 'A' cup (used to be B/C) and I assume this is permanent? Also, if I feed any future children, are they likely to shrink more? I know quite an unimportant question, but just trying to manage my expectatations here. Any other experiences/tales very welcome.Thanks muchly!

Hmmm, notnow, have you more than one child? If so, did they shrink more each time?Thanks for responding.My nipples also now point outwards to the side and up a bit (sorry if tmi!). I guess cos I always pretty much used the cradle position to feed him. I guess these will stay as they are now too.<Ponders for her pre-pregnancy figure>

I started as a D cup went up 1 or 2 cup sizes with each pregnancy and each BF baby (3 in total) and am now a 30HH. It is NOT a pretty sight. Be careful what you wish for, it might come true. I would love a bit of shrinkage.

thank you for all of your responses. you have given me hope! deflated balloon looking is so right, they just feel so empty! all of my old bras have huge gaps now between my boobs and the bra. well, give me a few months and maybe i'll make my way to a b cup again (or maybe i'll use it as a way of convincing dh for dc2 )thank you so much

I was a 28E before getting pregnant. Am now approx a 30F, so a little larger in all directions. I breastfed to 14 months and my breasts are pretty much the same shape they were before I started, just a bit bigger, although I definitely went through a saggy tiny phase! I'm not significantly fatter, either, just bigger-breasted which I'm quite pleased about as they have always been quite small!

I noticed particularly after dd2 the 'balloon' effect, and had gone down a size. I fed both for a year each and had lost some weight after dd2. Now currently feeding dd3, and although things are okay atm, I can tell that it will revert to sad and saggy! I did have a joke with dh that 3rd child=breast job, but I haven't made good on it.

(btw, I do recommend Rigby and Peller in London for a fitting if you can get there - they are fabulous and not at all fazed by any sort of shape or size!)

I was a 32C before dd1. BF her for 13 months and smugly stayed the same. DD2, disaster struck. BF her for the same amount of time and am now probably a 32A, though am too chicken to get measured and hear the awful truth. So many of my old clothes look weird on me now. I've realised I relied on having a cleavage and now I'm flat as a board. It's happned to loads of my friends too and my mum.

And btw I'd bf another child and have absolutely no regrets about my choice but I'm a bit that pregnancy does this rather than bfing. Pregnancy may cause norks to stretch and sag but surely it's bfing that makes them deflate like old balloons? If a bottle feeder with shrunken norks can come on to say otherwise I'd be v interested.
